The latest comments and answers for the question "Are there pros or cons to choosing 'Generic LDAP' LDAP server type option over others?"Answer by Alan Boothhttps://developer.ibm.com/answers/answers/28142/view.html
<p>In v110x the "Generic LDAP" setting and the MS Active Directory (MSAD) setting both use the same LDAP drivers internally.</p>
<p>Once you upgrade to v2000, the MS Active Directory setting allows the system to use proprietary MSAD drivers from Microsoft. This in turn causes the LDAP connection to use ports other than the standard LDAP ports of 389 and 636. It also can lead to the MSAD to send a redirection in response to the original query rather than a response for clients who are using a clustered MSAD topology. </p>
<p>If a client has optimized their network to accelerate LDAP connectivity (ports 389, 636) between IPAS and the MSAD they could see what appears to be performance degradation after the upgrade. In order to take full advantage of the MSAD drivers additional network ports may need to be opened. A workaround is to change the setting back to "generic LDAP" to restore the pre-v2.0 behavior.</p>Tue, 07 Oct 2014 14:54:21 GMTAlan BoothAnswer by DAbaloshttps://developer.ibm.com/answers/answers/27978/view.html
